You Lost Me

De: David Kinnaman

Narrado por: Tom Parks

More than 60 percent of young people who went to church as teens drop out after high school. This is a striking and alarming statistic. Now the bestselling author of unChristian trains his researcher's eye on these young believers. Where Kinnaman's first book unChristian showed the world what outsiders aged 16–29 think of Christianity, You Lost Me shows why younger Christians, ages 16–29, are leaving the church and rethinking their faith. Based on new research, You Lost Me shows pastors, church leaders, and parents how we have failed to equip young people to live in - but not of - the world and how this has serious long-term consequences. He then offers suggestions on how to help young people develop and maintain a vibrant faith that they embrace rather than toss away.

Easy to understand

Great book to understand the list of young souls of our community church. It is important to focus in their needs too

PARAMOUNT for anyone over 20 to read and know!

As I wrote above, it is utterly essential to anyone who cares about the perishing faith of our youth, because if we can't understand why they're leaving the pews, what exactly do you plan to do to change it??? Paradigm shift in perspective if you let it be...

Mostly intriguing and highly useful

You Lost Me is an insightful and deep look at why 18-29 year olds leave church. Must reading for anyone interested in the future of the Church in America.

Informative

A must listen to book and a much needed book for all Christians of all ages.

Presents interesting points, somewhat biased

This book has a lot of good information and presents valid research studies and the results. I don’t have a problem with the studies or the results; they are organized and done correctly. I do have a problem with the subtle condescending message. The author analyzes the problems and presents solutions, but it’s hard for them to go 10min without bringing up how the church leadership needs to respond to the problem by basically telling/training/reframing the way people think to better match the church. While this is not exactly wrong, the constant reminder of it makes it sound like indoctrination, which the book seems to argue against. Maybe the audio book makes it seem disingenuous compared to reading the actual book. If you’re somewhat open minded on faith, you will have to disregard or ignore this aspect of the book. It is still worth listening to in my opinion.
